FIRO Elements of Awareness
The backbone of The Human Element approach for organizational transformation
An integrated series of instruments designed to measure various aspects of human functioning and human relationships.
The Elements of Awareness are a series of psychometric instruments based on FIRO Instruments. Each Element measures one aspect of a person or relationship. Together, these instruments comprise the backbone of the Human Element approach.
The purpose of all of the Elements of Awareness is to provide information for expanding self-awareness. Increased self-awareness improves understanding of why people behave in the way that they do, how they interact, and the relation between behavior and consequences in the work environment. The result is greater effectiveness as leaders, managers or team members.
The Elements of Awareness are integrated into our Human Element programs and combined with a variety of experiential methods to form a holistic, transformational learning experience that leads to profound improvements in individual, team, and organizational performance and better business results.
